Ah, yes, it's here. Winter of 2011 has officially become a winter like every other year, the annual head cold. Ughh.
No matter what I do, I still got it. I've been taking care of myself, eating LOTS of fruits and veggies, been eating oranges like crazy since December when we came back from Florida (thanks, Mom, for sending more). Really, two oranges a day most days. Taking my vitamins (well, most days), and still, still, I get this awful head cold. Started out with a sore throat, then moved to my chest for a day, and now it's head congestion. Blahhhhh. Took some good cold medicine last night and had a really good sleep last night. So maybe in a few hours, I'll start feeling better.
Anyway, not much blogging going on around here lately. Been doing some reading of my favorite blogs throughout the week, but honestly, I know I've missed a lot and am way behind on my reading!
Will try to catch up over the weekend, but going to be busy, busy (if I'm not flat on my back in bed, that is).

Keep resting and taking care of yourself, Reen. You'll be back in action in no time!
ReplyDeleteGuess what?! Your word verification that I'm filling out is REST! I'm not kidding! It's a sign :)
I hope you are feeling better soon! I agree rest is best!
ReplyDeleteMarisa, that's hysterical. You've been getting an awful lot of "signs" lately. Remember the one from the other night watching Idol?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen.
Actually, I'm feeling quite a bit better than I did at 6:00 a.m. when I wrote this post. I ran out to the drug store at 8:00 a.m. for some Mucinex for sinuses (store brand). Came right home, popped open the bottle and took 2.... then put my reading glasses on and realized the dosage is 1 every 4 hours. Ooops!
Called the pharmacist and she said it's kind of a high dose, but I should be fine, just skip the dose. If anything, she said I would probably get a little jittery and maybe heart palpatations like I would get from too much coffee.
I chugged down 2 big Weight Watcher mugs of water after that and plan on drinking more throughout the day because I know that stuff can really dry you out.
